Owner Experience Review

Owners and brokers describe the 78 FLYas an owner-operator friendly platform for coastal cruising and family adventures. With triple Volvo Penta IPS commonly specified, it delivers confident handling and strong power, settling into a reported 26–27-knot cruise and reaching about 31–33 knots. Test and listing notes repeatedly mention smooth acceleration and precise joystick manoeuvring, which makes close-quarters work straightforward for a weekend crew.

On board, listings point to a four-cabin, four-head arrangement with a full-beam midships owner’s cabin and integrated crew accommodation, backed up by a high-end galley with premium appliances (e.g., Miele) and generous stowage. The expansive flybridge with hardtop and electric sunroof creates large social zones that families and guests gravitate to; it’s a setup that also appears frequently on Mediterranean and Adriatic charter rosters.

Ownership feedback highlights practical considerations as well. IPS pods are standard on the 78 FLY, so routine pod/drive service and potential pod-related costs should be planned for; Seakeeper gyros and twin generators, when fitted, add further service items and complexity. Forum chatter aboutAzimut Yachtsincludes the recurring quip about “dodgy Italian electrics,” while broker notes praise exceptionally clean, well-organised machinery spaces even if access to some systems remains compact on a large flybridge yacht.

Pros and Cons
